Tenth Street was closed at Bell Street, between Bell and Union Streets Monday due to a large sinkhole in the road.

City officials were not able to determine what caused the sinkhole Monday, however City Manager Brian McDougal confirmed that the street department is looking into the issue, as it may be related to a storm drain. McDougal added that officials continue looking into the matter until a determination can be made.

He was not able to confirm when the road would reopen.

City Engineer John Krywicki did not respond to requests for comment Monday.
